I started adding to Sovkhoz and writing kolkhoz, but soon realized that the articles share much. Also, comparison of these forms is required. I suggest to make a single article, Collective farming in the USSR. Also, to avoid confusion, I suggest eiher to rename Collectivisation in the USSR into History of collectivisation in the USSR or to make it into a section of the new article. Any opinions? Please put them into the Talk:Sovkhoz page. Mikkalai 04:38, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Kolkhoz in NY

In NY, United States a small group of youthful Russian immigrants adopted the name "kolkhoz" (former Odessites, Kievites and inhabitants of Tashkent). Some of the activities the group is involved in include sharing of their individual assets, collectively buying property... the group is residing mainly around Sheepshead Bay area...according to the latest sources they have a satellite location in Saugerties, NY

the above piece was added by an anon. I removed it until solid confirmation of both fact and its notablity. mikka (t) 04:20, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Totally disputed

Lao Wai adds false and incorrect material, but since no one else bothers to edit this page, despite my requests for comments in several places, I am tired to figth stubbornness alone, leaving the article tagged for future editors. `'mikka 20:05, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Asian republics

What was the situation in Asian republics? I have read that there existed some form of ownership of animals, nominally common. Xx236 07:57, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-russian names for "kolkhos"

Some Soviet republics got their languages, so local names shoud be quoted here, especially Ukrainian Колгосп.Xx236 08:02, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Management

  • How a kolkhoz was organised? Nothing here.
  • How were they cleared in many countries/regions/branches?Xx236 08:06, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] kolkhoz joke

Jews in the Kolchoz would make the joke: "When you say, `Kol Nidrei' [at the start of the Yom Kippur fast], you don't eat bread for one day. When you say `kol chamiro' [before Passover], you don't eat bread for eight days. When you say `Kolchoz' you don't eat bread for a whole year!" [1] 216.194.59.174 (talk) 21:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
